Our Hot Garlic Stir Fry Sauce is a delicious way to sauce up some dumplings. And I like to finish this dish with a Chinese scallion oil, similar to an Indian tarka. I sizzle ginger, garlic and scallion in hot oil and pour the mixture over dish as a flavorful finish.

Serves 2

Ingredients

12 oz store-bought frozen dumplings, wontons or potstickers (not ‘soup dumplings’), such as Bibigo, Laoban dumplings, Trader Joe’s varieties

1 jar Maya Kaimal Hot Garlic Stir Fry Sauce (depending how saucy you like it)

3 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil

2 teaspoons minced ginger

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 scallion, thinly sliced

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Notes

I would not use Soup Dumplings here because tossing them in sauce could cause them to burst.

Preparation

Step 1
Bring a pot of water to boil. Boil the frozen dumplings according to package directions, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 2
While the dumplings are boiling, heat the sauce. If you like a lot of sauce, use the entire jar. Heat it in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Step 3
Drain the dumplings and add them to the sauce, stirring gently to coat. Place in a serving bowl.

Step 4
In a small skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the ginger, garlic, scallion and optional red pepper flakes and sizzle for 15-30 seconds until the ingredients just begin to turn golden. Pour over the dumplings and serve immediately.
